Abstract
Our aim was to study time-dependent modifications in the characteristics of renal transplants in Spain during the 1990s and risk factors associated with death-censored graft failure after the first year. A total of 3,365 adult patients who underwent transplantation in 1990, 1994, and 1998 with a functioning graft after the first year were included. Ten-year patient and graft survival rates were 82% and 70%. Major modifications between 1990 and 1998 were increases in donor age (32±15 to 43±18 years, P Conclusion. Despite worsening of surrogate parameters of renal quality and poorer HLA matching, graft survival improved during the 1990s in Spain.Keywords
